About Bracket Bot

Bracket Bot is building low-cost, general-purpose robots that developers can program and deploy in days.

We’re transforming the world’s ~50 million software engineers into robotics engineers by building a full-stack platform—hardware, software, and ML—designed from first principles for performance, usability, and cost. Low expense is a design goal, not a constraint.

By transforming commodity, mass-manufactured components through disciplined engineering, we deliver robots that are reliable, high-performance, and inexpensive to build and operate. We believe fewer than 1,000 engineers globally can reason about robotics as a true vertically-integrated system, and we’re assembling a small team of them to build an accessible, developer-first robotics platform.

We’re backed by an amazing group of investors, co-led by Fifty Years (Scott Phoenix) and BoxGroup, with participation from Betaworks and Pace Capital, plus standout angels including Logan Kilpatrick (Google AI), Mohith Mothukuri (Physical Intelligence), and Guillermo Rauch (Vercel).

Bracket Bot is building a low-expense, high-performance robotics platform ready for real-world deployment.

About the role

Electronics sit at the center of everything our robot does: sensing, computing, actuation, audio, and power.

We’re hiring a Founding Electrical Engineer to own the entire electrical stack across current and next-gen robot versions — including PCB design, bring-up, debugging, and electrical architecture.

This is a high-ownership role. You’ll work closely with mechanical and robotics software tech to ship reliable hardware fast.

What you’ll do

• Design, bring-up, and iterate all robot PCBs:

• Own electrical architecture across robot versions

• Debug real hardware under timeline pressure

• Collaborate tightly with mechanics and software

What we’re looking for

• Proven PCB design experience

• Portfolio of shipped boards

• Strong systems-level thinking

• Willingness to own all electronics across the stack

Nice to have

• Firmware familiarity (C/C++)

• Audio electronics exposure (MEMS mics/codecs/noise)

• Robotics startup or lab experience

• DFM/DFT mindset; EVT/DVT/PVT exposure

Important notes

• Founding-team role with major ownership and influence on technical architecture, product direction, & design sensibility

• Hands-on + iteration speed is essential

• We value builders who ship over credentials

Equal Opportunity Employer
